One of the biggest questions about the hiring of Alex Anthopoulos was about how his style might translate to the Atlanta Braves. Lessons from his 6-year tenure in Toronto might prove to be instructive.
I have (finally) gotten around to compiling a list of the Top 10 prospects (as seen by Baseball America) over 5 consecutive years (2010-2015). These are the years in which AA had the Bat Phone in Toronto.
The instructive things to observe/evaluate here will be the following:
- Seeing what kinds of trades were made involving top prospects
- Seeing how those prospects fared later
- Seeing how many prospects generally busted
- Seeing how the prospects not traded have fared
The Lists…
